Never Anyway

by rose345

They say you left far too soon But you were never really here anyway I thought you might have liked me for real But you never cared anyway I believed in true love But you never love anyone anyway I can still see your crying face in my mind But you never smile anyway I felt bad for you and you left You don't feel anything anyway I wanted to understand you But I never knew you anyway

I don't know why, but I wrote this poem for an online challenge I saw. It was like 'Can you write a good poem in under four minutes?' So I tried it and here it is! It keeps you from editing your poem, like at all.
